I started off as a 17 year old lad with my 1.4 8v LS Corsa (1994, L reg). Think it had the EML light on so I joined up to ask what it was all about. My next car was another Corsa and after the bottom end went on that I havent had another since.

Lurking in the depths of my photobucket account:





edit - dont know what the alloys were off but they cost all of £30 Think they looked alright as well tbh. Further mod was a dodgy backbox and lexarse lights, then the engine ate itself so I sold it on.

Next corsa was the 8v SRi, absolutely loved this car, couldnt afford to replace the bottom end though Was a quick little beast







And im still here because I love the banter, the knowledge of any make of car nowadays an the fact I still own a Vauxhall so I can still get diagnosis and what not. Fair few bikers on here as well, now I own a 400

A lad called Daniel Bignell made me aware of this site on the facebook group "I own/have owned a Vauxhall Nova" while I was researching 1.6 engine stuff

joined looking for a combat bodykit for my corsa,

Used to work with Jason Iles and he always went on about the banter in off day so joined up.

Never owned a corsa and probably never will now

Was taking lessons while i joined up to the site, had a 125cc motorbike and done a straight swap for a 1.4 5dr Corsa B



6months after passing my test i wrote ehr off:


Couldnt find another B i liked and didnt like the C, so went out and decided to go VAG.
